how do the taxes work while in Alaska for drinks

[ourfamilylovescruising]

Just curious I know when we are in Miami and order drinks we have to pay taxes do we have to do the while in Alaska?

in Seattle taxes are 10.5% and are charged for about 3 hours after sail away.

 

In Victoria, only one bar per deck can be open - so bar service in Cagney's, Le Bistro, La Cucina & Ocean Blue was slow during dinner.  Spice H2O bar will be closed. Not Sure what happened with Q, Savor & Taste.

 

Taxes are not charged in Alaskan ports

Their country, city, their rules.

Also on the day sailing into Victoria the Seattle/Washington tax will come back for a few hours while you're in Washington waters. 

 

If you were anywhere on deck 6 it was much faster to walk to the atrium bar to get a drink then wait on a waiter. It was usually 20-30 minutes if you waited for them. 

 

I think I went to bed around 1am so I'm not sure if the tax came back after leaving Victoria.
